About this audiobook

Jackson Holt and I have a mutual problem, with an obvious solution. A fake relationship is the perfect way for both of us to get what we want.

The sinfully handsome new veterinarian in Dogwood Cove needs to show his boss he’s settling down and here to stay so that he can secure his partnership. I need to get my family and friends off my back so I can focus on my busy bakery, and open my new cafe.

Pretending to date each other is no hardship, and the answer to our problems. Two birds, one little white lie of a stone.

The challenge will be avoiding the very real feelings neither of us see coming.

Rumours and Romance is the perfect fake relationship that leads to real love. For fans of steamy small town love stories, with a couple who choose to be child-free, adorable animals, found family friend groups, low angst and high heat romance with a guaranteed HEA. This is the second story in the Dogwood Cove series and can be read as a standalone, although the series is best enjoyed if read in order.

Ratings and reviews

One of favorite tropes brought to the small town of Dogwood Cove. The town where there’s not near enough eligible bachelors for Mila to even begin to look beyond her bakery & expansion cafe. She’s worked hard to get to where she’s at, & she wants to honor the memory of her mother. But with her friends & brother constantly on her back about her workaholic tendencies, something has to give! Enter stage right, sexy new town veterinarian, Jackson Holt.
